God test. Syntes dog ikke du fik så meget ud af boardet som jeg har set i andre tests hvor det får topkarakterer.Men ok det er vel heller ikke altid lige nemt at lærer noget nyt HW at kende på den korte tid i har det inde.


Kan Undrer mig også over hvorfor du ikke gør opmærksom på ACC funktionen som kommer frem når du trykker CTRL-F1 på Bios startside og derefter går i MIT,hvor du så har mulighed for enten auto eller for at indstille for hver enkelt kerne på CPU'en.

Det giver gennemsnitlig 300-400 mhz mere når man OC. Savner også noget OC på ren multi for at se hvad det kan der.Og det giver lige så godt i ydelse.Hvad gav du de forskellige dele under OC(voltage)? det er jo ret interessant.

Og hvilken bios sad på boardet. Der var lidt bugs med F1. Nyeste er F2A.

Savner også lidt at der bliver OC med AOD som jo (syntes jeg) er det sjove ved AMD chipset'ne at man kan OC on the fly, og det funker efterhånden ret godt. 🙂

Men igen lækkert at se noget AMD test 🙂

En ting jeg rigtig godt kujnne tænke mig (og som anre sikkert også kunne have interesse), når i tester 'medie'-boards er hvor langt i kan *under*clocke boardet, og stadig få noget brugbart ud af det - altså afspilning af h.264/bluray m.v., og så se, hvor langt ned i watt og støj i kan få maskineriet...

Måske en ide til fremtidige tests - men nok mest interessant, når i som her tester deciderede kort til HTPC...
